It just doesn’t feel right, considering the expense and inconvenience he caused, to not somehow punish Haisong Jiang for breaching Newark airport’s security for a last kiss. But this New York Post commenter makes a good case for amnesty:

We should be thanking him. How else would we know how bad security was at Newark Airport without someone’s life actually being in danger. They TSA didn’t even have a recording video camera for crying out loud! They lucked out that the Continental camera caught the image.

It was an idiot act, but who knows how many lives Jiang saved by embarrassing the incompetents responsible for our safety.
